Porter Vacation Rentals

"When I booked this hotel for a small family staycation, I had no idea that this establishment was privately-owned. Had I seen a notifying statement on the booking page detailing the privately-owned status, I would never have booked a room here. And the very reasons that I would never choose a room outside of a chain-owned hotel, were on full display the entire time. You have a building that is aesthetically worn down due to the owner likely not wanting to pay for any renovations/updated layouts out of pocket. The ridiculous nit-picking over a free continental breakfast to avoid extra costs. All the rooms and spaces were only half-cleaned due to what is probably underpaid/undertrained private staff. And a nice-sized pool area that reeked of neglect. I will note that the staff there were always friendly and extremely helpful when approached. But the staff alone can't save an entire business. I would never stay here again, and was beyond anxious to leave on check-out day. If you are going to privately own, you have to invest in your business. "

"Lobby clean and staff friendly. Smoke filled casino. Nonsmokers had to walk thru smoking areas to get to nonsmoking area. Blue chip tower needs TLC as seemed outdated. Parking in covered garage convenient. "

"Front desk people are the best!!"

"Definitely needs some updates (which looks like are being slowly done). But a quiet place close to food"

"We loved the house. It was in a great location to all the dog friendly activities we did! Would definitely recommend staying here. "

"The room ac kept turning on and off every few minutes and didn't cool the room down. There is a main road right next to the hotel and an interstate highway just beyond that and our room faced them. I'm a lite sleeper and the noise from traffic kept me up most of the night. The fire alarm for the entire building went off around 3am and we evacuated the building and it took about 45 minutes before we could go back to our rooms. The place is not fancy, but the room and beds were clean. The common areas of the hotel, such as hallways, elevator and entry carpeting needs some cleaning and updating. The breakfast is not bad, but the breakfast area is real small and there is not enough room for everyone. No one was at the front desk the entire time we were there, instead there was a phone and a note to press a button and a few minutes later someone would come to the desk. The price was good compared to other such rated hotels in the area. I think the rating for this hotel was too high. I would not stay at this hotel again; there are a lot of other hotels in the area for about $20 more per night. If the only thing that matters to you is low cost, then I would recommend this hotel, it is ok, but not good or great. "

"Property was clean. Check in was easy. Pet friendly and easy access to the beach. Can't beat the lake view though - that was amazing."

"Nice comfortable room, great service. Free Breakfast buffet was good, nice variety of options. "

"Excellent stay. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Good breakfast. "
